Alpha prototype · in development
Decide whether a used car is worth pursuing, and what to check first.
For cautious buyers in Poland, Auto Decision Engine ties evidence to one specific listing, keeps the seller’s claims apart from what the listing shows, and turns what is still unknown into a prioritized next step.
Illustrative example · fictional
Fictional listing: used petrol estate
Buyer contextNeeds reliable daily use for several years.
- Listing text Reported
- Seller says the engine was replaced after water entered the intake.
- Not in the listing Unknown
- No repair documents. Repair scope and current condition are unknown.
Not inferred: a flooded cabin, a current fault or a successful repair.
- If documents match this car
- Compare their date and scope with the seller’s account, then arrange an independent inspection, including the engine and intake.
- If missing or conflicting
- Clarify before any deposit; the repair scope stays unknown.
Inside the engine
Evidence first, then reasoning, then a checked report
The prototype combines multimodal AI, which reads listing text and photos, with explicit rules and source checks that decide what the evidence can support.
-
Link observations to their sources
Text and photos become observations, each linked to its source. Identifiers within the listing are checked for conflicts. Documents visible in photos stay unverified and are not treated as linked to the car. Equipment shown is not proof that it works.
-
Keep claims, observations and knowledge apart
Seller claims stay separate from what the listing shows. Model knowledge is checked against its version, engine and market restrictions; unresolved matches remain conditional. Comparable asking prices are used only when enough suitable offers exist.
-
Prioritize conditional next steps
The evidence sets which check comes first and why, and what the buyer should do if the answer goes either way, as in the example above. Missing evidence stays unknown rather than being filled in.
-
Check the report against the evidence
A drafted report is checked against its evidence. Flagged statements are corrected or withheld, and unresolved limitations stay visible. This checks support; it does not make the output true or complete.
These mechanisms run in the local prototype, and its deterministic parts are tested. Accuracy on new cases has not yet been measured. The engine does not replace a viewing, a history check or a mechanic.
Where it stands
An early alpha, built carefully
The project started in 2026 and runs as a local prototype. The goal is a service that takes a public listing link and returns an evidence-bound decision report for that exact car. So far it has been tried on retained cases and manually assisted reports. It is not yet an autonomous or public service, and this page offers no analysis.
